The Owls Athletics department entered its second
season since it was reestablished in 2017. For the fall
season, The W returned men’s soccer, women’s cross
country and women’s volleyball and added men’s golf, men’s
cross country and women’s soccer.

Since the beginning of her
education and career, Wanda
Ray has loved The W. She can
recall sitting in her room staring
out the windows of Columbus
Hall as the cars passed. Ice
cream, red velvet cake and the
smell of the freshly baked bread
from the dining hall still linger
in her mind.

The Owls athletics program is constantly growing. With the 2018-19 season swiftly approaching, The W has added six more sports to athletic offerings: men’s cross country, men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s basketball. Last of the new additions and hires were men’s and women’s basketball. Meet the coaches who will push the next wave of Owls athletics.

A high quality education and flexibility have always been hallmarks of Mississippi University for Women. The two characteristics have come together to offer students access to more educational opportunities. The Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning approved three new tuition structures in May for The W.

The Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning named Nora Miller as acting president of Mississippi University for Women at its meeting held today in Jackson. Miller currently serves as senior vice president for administration and chief financial officer at the university and will begin serving as acting president on July 1.

Sunday, Feb. 11, 2018, brought to Mississippi University for Women its first softball game in 15 years. On a renovated
field and in front of almost 100 fans, the Owls softball team made its 2018 debut. With a new team and new coaching
staff, everyone was nervous about their first outing, but Coach Tat Matthews had one message for her team. “Play for
your why.”
